Breathtaking Views & Cozy Studio

The Creamery is a fully outfitted, self-catering cottage studio adjacent to the remodeled dairy barn on 250 acres of amazingly beautiful farmland. This studio is one large room with brick floor, a full kitchen, bathroom with ample sized shower and family style toiletries, sitting area with a sofa bed & a love seat. The land is magical with some lovely walks just across the road plus walks on our adjacent property. Guests have use of the 65 ft vine covered pergola with fish pond and fountain, the chimenea, the private Creamery Hideaway directly behind the studio, the Cozy and the meditation garden. You are invited to walk the rest of the property & the modern day labyrinth. We are a self-catering retreat & encourage guests to unplug, unwind & reboot :) We are available by phone should you need us. We respect your privacy.

You won't be disappointed choosing to stay here! In addition to the absolutely gorgeous views and magical land are overnight accommodations to suit a variety of travelers. Authentic log cabins from c.1775 to early 1900's have been reconstructed with modern amenities and add-ons i.e. decks, bedrooms, kitchens etc. These cabins and land have privacy and stunning views of 2 mountain ranges on 250 acres of hay fields and forest above the Maury and South Rivers. A/C and heat. Truly magical!

In addition there are 2 guest suites within The Heartstone Lodge, a remodeled and re-purposed dairy barn, plus 3 modern comfortable studios adjacent to Lodge that are perfect for individuals attending retreats, couples, groups and family gatherings in addition to weddings and receptions. A beautiful 65 ft grapevine covered pergola with fish pond fountain, meditation garden, fire-pit and lots of nooks with cozy spaces to relax.

Each of the cabins have been brought to this land from other places in Virginia and what is now called West Virginia. Loving care was given to each unique cabin as more modern additions were added. Attention was given to adding top quality, very comfortable bedding plus totally outfitting each accommodation with family style bath toiletries, coffee/tea/cocoa, dishes, kitchenware and everything you could need for a several day to one month stay here.

This is a nature preserve and a place of restoration, where joy, happiness and appreciation of the natural environment comes naturally and easily. There is no wi-fi though cell phone service is rarely a problem. Each cabin, each studio and the guest rooms in The Lodge are totally unique. Something for everybody. You'll leave here at peace with life and be planning your return.

Quiet Relaxing Stay
My wife, 15 yo son & I stayed in The Creamery Cottage Studio for 4 days while we were in the area visiting relatives. It a great quiet place with a variety of outdoor sitting areas. Our favorite was morning coffee by the fountain. It was a hot week so we were grateful for the AC! The cottage has a nice big stocked bookshelf which would be fun to dive into if we didn’t already have daily activities; it would be a great place to read! Lots of wildlife, the deer aren’t spooked by people & came within a couple feet of us. The host was responsive and gave great directions.
